Shelly Phelps And The Storm With diverse influences like rhythm and blues, retro soul, jazz, country, and rock, Shelly focuses on reflecting the heart of the songs she writes rather than settling into a specific genre. "From soulful power ballads to foot-stomping roots-rock, Shelly brings a 'lay-down-your-burdens' experience with her rich, contralto vocals, and the dark, warm threads of connection."
For Phelps, one of her greatest pleasures of writing, recording, and performing is connecting through music that expresses shared truth. "I don't necessarily want to make people forget about their troubles.", said Phelps. "I want them to know they aren't alone. That we are all on this planet together, in this room, in this moment... together."
